Coffee

Yupp, this post will simply be about coffee, and my experience with it.
When I was a lot younger, I used to drink coffee. I guess the amount of coffee I used to consume could be considered quite significant, though I don't drink it frequently. Well basically, I always gulp down at least half a cup of coffee every time I drank. So it can be seen that I like drinking coffee a lot ya?
Then, I used to hear adults say that coffee kept them awake or that they needed to drink coffee whenever they started feeling sleepy. I did try using coffee to keep awake when I got tired from studying but I found it had no effect. I still felt really tired and sleepy. As such, I concluded that coffee, more accurately caffeine, had no effect on me.
Fast forward to the present, I have since changed my mind about caffeine and its effect on me. Having been working part time for quite some time now, I have felt really sleepy on many occasions after staring at the computer screen for some time. This is when drinking coffee helps revitalise me, enabling me to continue with my work.
This is what happens. I would be feeling really sleepy and nodding off in front of the computer. Then, after I take a break and get myself a cup of coffee, I find myself able to concentrate much better on my work and my mind is so much clearer.
I usually feel sleepy after lunch though, likely due to having eaten too much. So I have been taking coffee breaks in the afternoons after lunch to keep myself awake for work. Even though my mind still drifts off sometimes, it sure has helped. Still, I am trying to minimize my intake of caffeine though. I don't want to grow addicted to caffeine and have to drink coffee every time I feel sleepy right?
